Government, Resume, and Job Search: They Just Don't Mix

I have long held that the government should not in any way be involved in the job search process, except when they are hiring for governmental positions. Every time they get involved, things seem to go awry. What, in theory, should be a relatively simple process becomes convoluted and fraught with pitfalls and sudden twists and turns. Not to mention the fact that government has a tendency to throw good money after bad...and then some.

So I could only shake my head in frustration when reading about how government used part of an $11 million grant designed to help 400 job seekers in Detroit obtain job interview clothing and support. According to a FoxNews report (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/03/07/stimulus-money-meant-to-help-400-detroit-job-seekers-reportedly-helped-2/?test=latestnews), the program provided clothing for only 2 candidates.

So either some serious fraud was involved here or the program isn't really necessary--or some combination of the two. Regardless, you shouldn't wait to let someone else, particularly the government, take over your job search for you.
